I've never heard of this but there it is in glorious technicolour so I assume it is real. Anyone go on a KiwiWalk, and/or know what happened to this initiative?

Golden spring sunset, lovely eh.

There were many shows that helped me through the trials of 2020 and the old shows that Time Team put up on YouTube was very much amongst them. Time Team (v1) finished in 2014 after a massively successful 20 years on UK TV. They then popped up their official YouTube channel and started uploading old episodes every week - was such a warm and duvet moment to snuggle in and watch the latest release, especially those with Mick and Phil.
